As Rich has pointed out, you need jumbo for the "-rules=single" option
syntax.  Without jumbo, that option does not accept a parameter, but you
may nevertheless use it without a parameter, so simply use:

./john -w=mypasswd.lst -rules -stdout

and if you need to revise the rules, the section in john.conf is
"[List.Rules:Wordlist]".

However, you will also need jumbo for the "-min-length" option that was
suggested in another reply.
